Chapter XVII

"Weizhou," Zhao Tianqing frowned in the office of the Taxation Section, "I remember, I read a novel in the newspaper before, which was also about smuggling. That company has a lot of hands and eyes, but it also has an inspector who has poked out the smuggling. ”

Ye Weizhou, who was sitting at the desk and carefully comparing the report, did not raise his head: "And then?"

Zhao Tianqing moved closer to her: "The luck of this inspector in the novel is much better than mine." After he reported it, the boss began to prepare to investigate the company. Who knows, this company has heard about it for a long time, heard the rumors, and put the goods in order overnight. The inspector went with the list, but did not find the goods. Do you know what will happen in the end?"

"How?"

"The company in the novel glanced at the list and said that the person in charge of counting the goods in their company made a mistake," Zhao Tianqing's expression was extremely solemn, "They immediately dragged out the person who counted the list and killed him on the spot." At the end of the novel, the scene of blood splattering is written. ”

Ye Weizhou finally raised his head and glanced at him.

Zhao Tianqing looked at her and slowly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Ye Weizhou sighed: "Are you worried that the Saito Club will also hear the rumors and start the move in advance as written in the novel?"

Zhao Tianqing nodded: "Actually, Weizhou, I'm thinking seriously, it's best to catch Saito Kaisha this time, if you can't catch it...... Loss may be lost, but I prefer not to involve innocent people. ”

After a pause, Zhao Tianqing added softly: "...... Even if the innocent one is a Japanese. ”

Hearing this, Ye Weizhou was slightly stunned. Zhao Tianqing quickly turned his gaze away, and began to flip through the report on the table with pretense of devotion. Ye Weizhou couldn't help grinning, but he didn't say anything.

Generally speaking, the import and export of goods at home and abroad need to be reported to the customs first, including the entry and exit of goods, means of transportation, filing and approval of various tax exemptions or compensations, etc. This is the pre-session.

Whether it is for the company or for the customs, the most critical link is the inspection at the time of entry and exit. In the supervision area, the customs will implement on-site supervision of goods and means of transport, including declaration, inspection, taxation, release and other basic links. Zhao Tianqing found that something was wrong, and he was also in this link.

Zhao Tianqing reported in this link, but it was not possible due to "lack of evidence".

In order to prevent this from happening again, the two must now find out the filing report of the import of the goods transported by Saito Kaisha as relevant evidence.

First, he presented all the reports of the Saito Kaisha, and then, according to Zhao Tianqing's memory, according to the model of the merchant ship used to smuggle opium, he found a more specific report. Ye Weizhou copied all the reports.

Out of intuition, Ye Weizhou copied more than just one copy.

When everything was over, I said goodbye to Zhao Tianqing and returned to the Ye family, and it was already half dark.

Ye Weizhou couldn't wait to enter the guest hall for dinner, and as soon as he sat down, he heard Ye Xiaozong's counting: "Why did you come back so late? You are a girl's family, what does it look like to stay outside at this time? How much chaos is there outside, do you still need me to tell you?"

Ye Weizhou didn't raise his head, and ate quickly. She was so hungry that even though the food was cold, she was still satisfied.

Seeing her like this, Ye Xiaozong was really angry and funny.

Ye Shenxing on the side said: "Father, presumably Weizhou also has something to do......

Ye Xiaozong was already angry, and when he saw him bumping into him like this, he immediately glared at him mercilessly: "It's also your father who is a good one, and he didn't wait for his daughter after work, and he came back first." I didn't see my daughter come back when it was dark, but I didn't care, I sat and drank tea leisurely......"

Ye Shenxing obediently listened to the training.

Later, Ye Xiaozong's number fell, but Ye Weizhou didn't hear it clearly, she had been trying to carry out the report against Saito Club. What to do, what to say, what might happen is slowly emerging in her mind.

The next day, when he arrived at Jianghaiguan, Ye Weizhou took the lead in finding the chief of the tax collection department according to the calculations he had made all night yesterday. Unexpectedly, the section chief told her that this was not under his control, he was only in charge of taxes, and if someone concealed smuggling, then he should go to the anti-smuggling department.

Ye Weizhou did it one by one and didn't say anything.

The Anti-Smuggling Division of the Customs was newly established two years ago and is equipped with anti-smuggling motorboats and small boat assistance, which seems to be a strict grasp of smuggling. The chief of the anti-smuggling section of the Jianghai Customs is a British man, white-skinned, who looks big-bellied, and there is a bit of kindness and kindness in his appearance.

Outside the office of the Anti-Smuggling Section, Ye Weizhou looked inside, and his eyes froze.

She saw a familiar face.

It is section chief Teraoka key times of the Inspection and Estimation Division. He was sitting at a table chatting with the British section chief of the anti-smuggling department, and he was also drinking black tea leisurely.

Ye Weizhou couldn't hear what they were talking about.

The purse in her hand stored the report for testimony, the weather was quite cold today, Ye Weizhou touched the purse, but her palm was a little hot.

She stood outside the door for a moment, thinking of many possibilities. But she frowned and walked in with her legs raised.

As I got closer, I was able to hear what was going on. They speak Japanese. Ye Weizhou heard Teraoka Keyji say, "...... This time, the black tea was delivered by a friend who works at Saito Kaisha, and it took a lot of effort to ship it from the United Kingdom. ”

The British section chief of the anti-smuggling section nodded with a smile: "No wonder, it makes me feel like I'm back home." ”

Ye Weizhou stood still.

The British section chief looked up, and her appearance was reflected in the blue eyes. Ye Weizhou said in English: "I am Ye Weizhou, from the Taxation Division, and I found out that the Saito Society concealed the goods and smuggled opium. ”

After a pause, Ye Weizhou touched the leather bag beside him: "This is the relevant report." ”

When the British section chief heard this, his expression became a little more serious. He put the teacup on the table and stretched out his hand to Ye Weizhou: "Show me." ”

Ye Weizhou handed the leather bag forward.

All the declarations, but all that can be found in the Jianghai Customs and related to this case, she has collected them in great detail and meticulously. The British section chief squinted his eyes and looked at one, then took out his reading glasses from the drawer and continued to look down.

Ye Weizhou stood motionless beside him, catching a glimpse of Teraoka Keyji out of the corner of his eye.

He drank tea quietly alone, didn't speak, and his expression was faint, and he didn't see anything special.

The British section chief read all the reports, took off his reading glasses, and said, "Miss Ye, I think that these reports are far from enough to prove the smuggling of Saito Kaishe. ”

"Even if opium is found on their merchant ship, won't it?" asked Ye Weizhou.

"If something unusual is discovered, then it must be investigated and dealt with accordingly," the British section chief nodded happily, "so why was it discovered at that time, but not reported?"

Ye Weizhou was silent.

Teraoka Keiji placed the cup in his hand on the table, and the bottom of the cup collided with the tabletop, making a crisp sound.

Ye Weizhou pursed his lips: "...... Because the situation was a bit complicated at the time. ”

The British section chief said, "If we can find the customs officer who discovered the anomaly to come and testify together, and it is credible enough, then we can start an investigation into Saito Kaisha." ”

"Aren't these bills enough?"

"In the past, it may have been, but lately it's been a bit special. As you know, tariffs and systems are always changing. ”

Ye Weizhou responded.

Before she left, the British section chief called out to her again and said, "Our anti-smuggling department will also carry out measures, Miss Ye doesn't have to worry too much." ”

Ye Weizhou thanked him.

It's just that I don't know if it's because of the so-called black tea sent by the staff of the Saito Club, even if the British section chief swears by it, Ye Weizhou is still not at ease.

After getting off work, Ye Weizhou said to Ye Shenxing that he wanted to go shopping alone.

Ye Shenxing was thinking about the fierce old father at home, but he said that he couldn't move his stubborn daughter. He had no choice but to say, "Then remember today and go home before dark." ”

Ye Weizhou responded with a smile.

It was a little overcast. Walking around the street, Ye Weizhou walked very slowly, and she was slowly thinking about everything. Perhaps thinking too much, Ye Weizhou deviated from the sidewalk without realizing it, until a rapid horn sounded her back to her senses.

Ye Weizhou turned her head to look over, and the front of the car was only three centimeters away from her calf. The driver was a foreign man with deep amber eyes who looked like a Germanic people.

He had a cold face and no expression.

Another foreign man in the co-pilot leaned over, smiled gently at Ye Weizhou, and said in English: "This young lady, you must pay attention to safety when you are on the road." ”

Ye Weizhou apologized again.

As the car drove farther and farther away, Ye Weizhou put his hands in his pockets and did not continue walking. She stood there and turned. Next to it is a café with bright glass walls reflecting Ye Weizhou's figure.

Outside it's sunny, but inside the café it's bright and cozy. Flowers are blooming, the lights are comfortable, and the sweet aroma of coffee with a bitter taste fills the air.

The cold wind was blowing, Ye Weizhou exhaled, and a drop of cold water suddenly fell on the tip of his nose. Maybe it will rain later. But she shrunk her neck and still didn't plan to go home.

At this time, the bell hanging on the door of the café rang slowly, and Ye Weizhou intuitively raised his eyes and unexpectedly met a familiar face.

With a smile on the familiar and handsome young face, he sent two young girls in foreign dresses out.

Ye Weizhou only looked at him for a moment, quickly turned his gaze away, and buried half of his face in his collar. She wished the other person hadn't seen her.

It was a great conversation. The man's voice is low and good, and the girl's laughter is like a clear spring water, tinkling and dingdong. In the end, the two girls were put into the carriage.

Ye Weizhou lowered his head and looked at his toes. When she found a stone lying next to her, she lifted her foot and kicked it.

Suddenly, the beautiful man's voice slowly sounded in her ears: "Is it cold?"

Ye Weizhou was stunned for a moment, and almost didn't take back the kick that was kicked out.

She barely managed to steady herself and looked to the side. There was a warm scarf around her neck, and she could smell some of the coffee that remained on it.

Before the smell of tobacco on the tip of his nose dissipated, he was heard saying again, "Go in and sit down, Miss Ye." ”

Ye Weizhou raised his eyes and looked at Zhong An.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the glass wall next to him. She was a little surprised to find that Zhong An, who was wearing an overcoat, was so slender.
